Self Storage And The American Dream We all have visions of what the American Dream is. A white picket fence surrounding a lush green yard, where our children are playing in the sprinkler as Bubba the bulldog chases them around barking in pure joy. The Jeep Liberty and Toyota Camry are parked in the two car garage of the four bedroom, two story Cape, with a fire pit and patio in the back yard, where Dad is out grilling hot dogs on his new Weber grill, for everyone to enjoy in the spring time sun. It seems like only yesterday, spending the weekend on the lake in our new 16 foot Wellcraft boat was a common occurrence, and putting an in-law apartment addition above the garage for Grandma was the norm. Many Americans have been forced to make drastic decisions due to job loss and other external factors, which have altered their lives significantly. While we know that these stresses can be a lot for anyone to handle, we are here to make this transition as easy on your as possible.
I Can’t See The Back Of The Garage As you climb over the giant pile of Christmas decorations that you never got around to putting in the attic, I’m sure the thought of throwing it all away and buying new stuff, shines brightly like a neon sign in your head. When you finally get to that back corner of the garage, where you thought you had left those lawn tools, you realize you can’t remember if it was the shed or the basement, where you had last seen your edge trimmer. This scenario sound familiar? Many of us don’t realize exactly how much “stuff” we have until it either falls on top of us, or we decide to move, and all of the sudden what you thought was one truck load, turns into a semi truck worth of boxes, wreathes, and baby toys we couldn’t imagine getting rid of. So how do we go about putting away all of these family treasures in a way that we can easily get to them when we need them? “Well, why would I rent a storage unit, when I can just put up a shed and store everything in there?”
Economic Security Gets an Average Grade New Jersey lawmakers could be doing much more to improve the economic security of their constituents, according to a state-by-state scorecard from Wider Opportunities for Women(WOW). The state received a ‘C’ for policy choices made by legislators that directly affect families’ and seniors’ economic security, or their ability to afford basic needs like housing and food. The scorecard examined 85 policy choices. New Jersey ranked seventh among the states and the District of Columbia, which means a ‘C’ grade isn’t too harsh when considering the nation as a whole. “(New Jersey) received the second-highest number of A’s, but it also received a lot of F’s and D’s,” said WOW Acting President and CEO Shawn McMahon. The state saw grades in the ‘A’ range for expanding family leave, as well as its policy of allowing a resident to freeze their credit scores when there’s the potential for identity theft or fraud, but New Jersey received failing grades for a lack of sound sick day policies.

Equity Based Services, Inc. Thaws Credit Freeze - Talk Self Storage Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 12, 2008 Equity Based Services, Inc. (“EBS”) announced an equity recapitalization of its AMS IV Self Storage facility in Austin, TX. The property was originally financed by a large European Bank and was refinanced with a Regional Midwestern Lender. “Lenders are definitely more cautious than they were a year ago, but, we are still closing loans. We are placing debt not only on new acquisitions, but also on existing projects which are generally more difficult to finance. Many Regional Banks have fared well in the face of failing National and International Banks. The loan on AMS IV Austin is a three year note with a floating rate based on prime. “Texas is one of the top performing states in the Country for Self Storage. “The financing terms, rates, and Interest-Only period that we were able to secure on this property allows a very strong cash flowing property to support strong returns to our investors. In 2008, EBS has acquired 15 new facilities.

Soon School Will Be Out As I was on my way to work this morning I had to stop a number of times because a School Bus was in front of me. I smiled, as I started to remember what it was like for me and my friends in the distant past. I am pretty certain that our parents had never imagined that today’s children would be picked up with almost door to door service by a big school bus to take us to school. There was no such thing as a cafeteria that made lunch for us. I am thankful that the weather is much nicer this week, than it was the past few. The high is expected to reach just about 80 degrees. Things are also beginning to pick up at the facility as well. People are commenting on the sign we have placed out front. A majority of the units that have been rented are smaller (5×5 and 5×10) sized units, to our new tenants. We had 2 guys chip in on a 10 x 15 sized unit for their bikes and trailer.

Tech Social Media EML Wildfire Technology PR Blog 5 shiny new marketing fads that aren’t really new at all By Danny Whatmough on 26/03/2013 “ A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” – William Shakespeare I blame Mashable. But what happens is that, because there isn’t enough news, we are left with endless speculation and trends which, more often than not, are just new ways of saying the same old things. Electrocuting cows? It’s a trend (a proper trend) that Jon Steel flags in his seminal book on planning, “ Truth, Lies and Advertising “: “there is too much time to fill on television and too much space to fill in print, and not enough news to fill it. read more

Seasonal Storage When most people think about self storage they figure it is just for people who are moving and need a temporary place to store their possessions or they think it is for people who are downsizing their homes and have nowhere else to store their things. Well reality is that self storage facilities do provide space for the storage of your home goods but we also provide spaces for many more purposes than just items from your home. For instance many businesses such as plumbers, builders and pharmaceutical representatives utilize self storage space for the storing of their products and materials. This makes their job much less cluttered as they don’t have to keep their work materials at their homes, offices or in their vehicles. Now when I say seasonal items this does include items like your Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving decorations but it is also much more than that. Now if you have an RV you can also store that in an outdoor self storage spot all year around if you wish.
